The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show With Jimmy Moore

Ontario, Canada-based nephrologist, weight loss, and diabetes health expert Dr. Jason Fung is our guest today in Episode 945 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

We have a serious problem with the way we look at and treat people with Type 2 diabetes around the world. This is of great concern to a nephrologist and nutritional health practitioner with a focus on diabetes named Dr. Jason Fung. He's from Intensive Dietary Management in Scarborough, Ontario where patients are put through various protocols to help them control their disease naturally and without the knee-jerk need for medications. Dr. Fung has shared some very enlightening video lectures on YouTube (see below) where he makes the case that you can reverse diabetes through nutritional protocols to get to the root of the insulin resistance that causes it. He's a big believer that it's not about controlling blood sugar, but rather insulin levels. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Fung go into detail about how diabetes is being treated and what we can do to bring about real change. Don't miss this compelling conversation!

Ketogenic ultra marathon runner Zach Bitter is our guest today in Episode 944 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There's this common perception in the athletic world that in order to fuel your exercise performance, you must load up on high amounts of carbohydrates. But in recent years, a new trend has emerged where long-distance runners are turning to a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet to give them a longer, more steady source of energy during their races. We previously shared an interview with Western States 100-mile Endurance Run record holder Timothy Allen Olson in 2013 discussing how switching to an LCHF approach improved his race-day symptoms and endurance issues. Today we present another ultra marathon runner named Zach Bitter who has competed in 24 events and holds the 12 Hour World Record, 100 mile American Record, and 200k American Record. Additionally, he's a two time National Champion (50 mile road 2012, and 100k road 2014) as well as a member of USA's 2014 100k World Championship Team, which won gold in Doha, Qatar and placed 6th overall.

Listen in to hear Jimmy and Zach discuss his old diet prior to discovering LCHF, his work with Dr. Jeff Volek fine-tuning his diet, the wide variability of carbohydrate intake according to the individual, why running faster races like a 5k doesn't necessarily mean needing higher carb consumption, and a whole lot more. If you are someone interested in the relationship between low-carb nutrition and endurance races, then you won't want to miss what Zach has to share in this interview.

Paleo food bloggers and bestselling cookbook author Bill Staley And Hayley (Mason) Staley is our guest today in Episode 943 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Naturopath and autism specialist Dr. Shauna Young is our guest today in Episode 942 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Interests: About 15 seconds after I started posting on social media about the book, someone came on and said “Nothing will cure autism. It’s here to stay”. This is the mindset that has to be reversed! To that end, I put together some talking points.

I cannot stress how important it is that people understand that this is not a “theory” that could happen. These case studies have ALREADY happened.

In order to do that, I think we should focus on the case studies. Maybe pick a few of your favorites and we can discuss them in more depth. Also see the chapter on “Setting the bar”. That has proved to be a very powerful image.

The Protocol has for years and WILL CONTINUE TO BE available for free download at noharmfoundation.org The book of course goes more into depth, but the Protocol is still there for free. However PLEASE ask that people leave a donation (even a dollar!) if they download the Protocol. If we had a dollar for every download we’ve had we would be in much better shape to help more people, as it has been downloaded more than 10,000 times in over 70 countries.

Stress that I am not in private practice right now, as I thought it was more important at this time to spread the word about this Protocol. They can send questions through the NoHarm Foundation (that I am medical director of) but the book should answer 99% of their questions. Once we have some funding through NoHarm we can answer more questions, but for now it is a small unpaid staff.

We have a video on YouTube that chronicles a child I worked with called “Dr. Shauna Young’s television appearance on EcoSense”. Go to YouTube and search for “Assertive Wellness” to get to our channel.

Doctorate in Physical Therapy, nutritional biochemist, and functional endocrinologist Dr. Tim Jackson is our guest today in Episode 941 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There are so many complex issues in the realm of health that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with it all. That's why we try to find experts who can explain these sorts of ideas in language that makes sense to the layperson. Today's interview guest is certainly one of those--Dr. Tim Jackson from HealYourBody.org. He is a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) who quickly realized his training was limited in truly helping improve the health of the patients he was seeing. That's when he started studying functional medicine looking into digestive health, nutrition, and functional endocrinology which all remain a strong passion. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Jackson discuss the details about functional endocrinology, digestive health, epigenetics/MTHFR, chronic infections, mold toxicity, and more!

Registered dietitian, low-carb blogger, and author Franziska Spritzler is our guest today in Episode 938 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Although the low-carb message has been out there for more than a century, the interpretation of what that looks like on a meal plate and the purpose for eating this way is still one of hot debate today. Unfortunately, many modern-day low-carb dieters make the mistake of including suspicious food items (grains, sugars, fake sweeteners) that wouldn't be recognized by people in the original low-carb diet days of William Banting while putting all the emphasis of restricting carbohydrates on losing weight. That's why it's great to have people like registered dietitian Franziska Spritzler from the "Low Carb Dietitian" blog articulating the use of a real, whole foods-based low-carb lifestyle for the purposes of improving health and beauty. It's such a different take on the standard use of a low-carb diet that Franziska has put it all together in a brand new book about it entitled The Low Carb Dietitian's Guide to Health and Beauty: How a Whole-Foods, Low-Carbohydrate Lifestyle Can Help You Look and Feel Better Than Ever. Listen in as Jimmy and Franziska discuss the contents of her incredible new book.

Board-certified gynecologist, physician-scientist, and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried is our guest today in Episode 936 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

After writing a blog post about a Paleo imposter meal delivery company in January entitled We Must Stand Up For Integrity And Authenticity From Paleo Food Companies, Jimmy was contacted by Business Development Director Leanna Cappucci from a genuine Paleo food delivery company called Paleo On The Go. After speaking with her about how they do things the right way, we decided to share a brief interview at the beginning of today's podcast about what sets them apart. Listen in as Jimmy and Leanna talk briefly about their concerns with companies using "Paleo" merely as a marketing term, why authenticity and integrity matters when you identify with a community like Paleo, the extra steps they've taken as a company to be consistent with their commitment to Paleo, the recognition they've received for being a credible Paleo company, the various products they offer (even ones that are perfect for people eating low-carb), the customized plans for autoimmune protocol and more (even a possible keto one!), and more! If you share the concern with Paleo becoming too commercialized and losing its meaning, then listen in to this fabulous conversation about a company that understands being authentically Paleo matters.

In today's primary interview, we welcome in a Berkeley, CA-based gynecologist named Dr. Sara Gottfried who penned a fabulous New York Times bestselling book in 2014 called The Hormone Cure: Reclaim Balance, Sleep and Sex Drive; Lose Weight; Feel Focused, Vital, and Energized Naturally with the Gottfried Protocol. Now she's back in 2015 with a fantastic follow-up book called The Hormone Reset Diet: Heal Your Metabolism to Lose Up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days destined to stir up some controversy but will cause you to stop and think about what it takes to restore your hormonal health. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Gottfried have an engaging chat!
